He is called back home to Barbados after the death of his parents to run Peverills, the family plantation. The 1812 storyline follows Charles Davenant. They live on the plantation next to Peverills. These include Nathaniel, a prickly young doctor looked down on for his race, as well as the Davenants. While in Barbados, Emily meets a variety of characters. Emily has been left a plantation by her grandfather, a plantation no one knew he owned. In the 1854 storyline, Emily Dawson travels to Barbados with her cousin Adam and his wife Laura. There are two major story threads, one that takes place in 1854 and the other in 1812. It’s a historical fiction epic spanning several generations in colonial Barbados, with a focus on two of the families who live there.

The Summer Country is the latest of Willig’s books to hit shelves. If you’re not familiar with her, you’re missing out! Her books include The Pink Carnation Series, The Ashford Affair, and The English Wife, among others. I preorder books from a few talented authors without a second thought. The Summer Country, the recent historical romance from Lauren Willig, is layered, rich, well-researched, beautifully written, and above all masterfully woven.
